I have been working for nearly 10 years now as a private tutor, intervention tutor and graduate TA working with SEND students in one to one or small group settings and acting as a teaching assistant when necesary. I specialise in autism and ADHD particularly but have helped people from all backgrounds with many different needs. As a tutor I have been responsible for getting people who have been out of the system for years back into school with the necessary support and diagnoses to flourish and I have a large amount of experience safeguarding and adapting to specific needs.

I have been accepted by TeachFirst to join their 2026 cohort and become a fully qualified teacher, right now I am simply looking to continue getting as much classroom experience as I can in the meantime.

Currently a PhD and graduate TA (I run seminars and breakout sessions and do the bulk of the exam marking for cohorts of around 20-30 undergraduates at a time) at the University of Glasgow.
